For many years Dresden was the center of Saxon porcelain production. In 1872, a porcelain manufactory was founded on the outskirts of the city. Her trademark is a sign of Saxon elite porcelain. Rare porcelain is produced by hand under the brand SP (Sachsisch Porzellan-Manufaktur) Dresden. The artists of the Dresden Manufactory have achieved high mastery in transferring the motifs of painting - landscapes, portraits, etc. - to porcelain products. The dominant style of the Manufactory's porcelain products is Baroque, but they were also influenced by Empire and classicism.

The history of German porcelain SP Dresden.

The porcelain manufactory SP Dresden was founded in 1872 in the suburb of Dresden, in the village of Potschappel. It was called “Sachsische Porzellanfabrik zu Pottschappel von Carl Thieme” Its founder, Carl-Johann Gottlieb Thieme, was an antique shop owner.
Since 1864, he also owned a porcelain decorating workshop, in which famous Dresden artists worked.

Then there was a significant demand for porcelain and other interior decoration items. This demand was met by the Guild of artists Hausmalerei, founded in Dresden 100 years earlier, despite the prohibitions and fines of the Saxon government, which helped to protect the monopoly of the Meissen porcelain manufactory.

Dresden artists have achieved high mastery in transferring the motifs of painting to porcelain. The owner moved the workshop to Potschappel in 1871, a year later founding his own porcelain manufactory. He acquired land, built a porcelain kiln and hired the masters of the closed porcelain manufactory Burxdorf. One of these masters was a talented sculptor who created flowers, Carl August Kuntzch. After his marriage, he became a co-owner of the Dresdner porcelain manufactory and introduced many new trends into the creation of the porcelain Manufactory. During the heyday of the porcelain Manufactory, the owner hired 8 fashion designers, who over several decades created about 12,000 models of porcelain, which are still kept by the porcelain manufactory. The first porcelain product of the Manufactory – the porcelain console – was produced even after 100 years and was the most popular and world-famous porcelain product of the Manufactory. For the first time in the world, the Manufactory began producing exclusive porcelain paraffin lamps, many of which were exported to America.

Thanks to the excellent quality of elite porcelain, the reputation of the Dresden Porcelain Manufactory continued to strengthen. The range of porcelain expanded rapidly and absorbed all the best that was created by the leading porcelain manufactories of Europe – the Vienna Porcelain Manufactory, Sevrom, Capo di Monte, etc.

Up to 300 new types of porcelain objects were created per year. The dominant style was Baroque, but the porcelain of the Manufactory was also influenced by Empire and classicism.

Despite the ups and downs, especially during and after the Great Depression in the 1920s – 1930s, the porcelain Manufactory remained faithful to the direction chosen by its founder – to produce only elite German porcelain.

Not only porcelain is of high quality, but also masterful hand-painted porcelain in various styles. The beautiful and popular porcelain products created by artists for many years have largely determined the image of the porcelain Manufactory.

On February 13, 1945, the city of Dresden was destroyed, but the porcelain Manufactory (a building, a priceless collection of porcelain) located in its suburbs, by a lucky chance, was not damaged.

At the end of the Second World War, the porcelain Manufactory was gradually expropriated, and by 1972 it became state-owned.

Fortunately, the porcelain style and completely hand-made porcelain production have been preserved. The great achievement of this time was the development of the talents of the dynasties of porcelain masters of the porcelain Manufactory.

The Porcelain Manufactory contributes in every possible way to the training of talented artists, relief craftsmen and fashion designers who will continue the tradition of hand-made slotted ornate and painted porcelain. The marketing network of the porcelain Manufactory covers more than 20 countries of the world.

After the unification of Germany in 1990, the porcelain Manufactory was reprivatized and underwent reconstruction. After a 50-year absence, the porcelain manufactory has reopened a store of elite German porcelain in the center of Dresden, in the Kempinski Hotel.

Each porcelain item made by the porcelain Manufactory is marked with a blue underglaze brand “SP Dresden". This brand is a sign of elite German porcelain of the highest quality.
